As part of their "Bringing America Back" series, ABC news featured a story on the evening news tonight about the Wrangler Company who is standing behind their workers in Hackleburg, AL.
Please join me by standing by Wrangler! I've never owned a pair of Wrangler jeans, but after watching this story tonight, my husband and I are going to go out to buy a pair this weekend because we were so touched by the loyalty of this company (who make their products in America!).

When a tornado tore through Hackleburg, Ala., in April, it nearly destroyed the little town and killed 26 people. Dozens of houses were flattened, along with several businesses and buildings -- including the Wrangler factory, the largest employer in the town.
Pairs of the iconic blue jeans were found as far as 90 miles away after the storm. Many of the workers lost their homes and were also left without hope.
Plant manager Wade Hedgedorn took shelter under a table with 13 other workers when the twister blasted through the plant. One person died.
